I'm not knocking you pal as I 100% appreciate your efforts in going last night. But please explain how we can concede 5 goals and a defender get 7.5? As I say, I wasn't there so that's my reasoning for not understanding.
Leaving aside the lone striker, all the other ten players contribute to the performance of the defence. I can see no reason why all of them must have played badly to account for our conceding five goals. As illustration, as I commented in the player marks, the first two goals were very much down to individual mistakes by Fox and Henderson. I really think Lennon did well, especially given that so many of his team mates played so badly.
Henderson 5 tried Solly 5.5 tried, agree with Nolan about headed backpass. Actually that was the highlight of the game. Johnson 4 Lennon 5 tried Fox 2 how many bad passes can you make?
